The Importance of Affiliate Revenue
We're learning that there's a lot of pay to play in marketing the backpack. Affiliate revenue is huge. Some creators don't appear to disclose these payments. Are you okay with us engaging the services of such a person? No, I'm not done yet. If our contract stipulates that everything needs to be disclosed. Really.
